The location of this restaurant is not only spectacular, but also handy for doing a spot of shopping in the RathausGalerien mall before taking the lift up to the seventh floor for dinner.

A popular establishment in a prime location in the centre of the old town, right in the pedestrianised precinct. The appealing combination of restaurant and bar (look out for the interesting cocktails) makes for a lively atmosphere with an "urban brasserie" feel. Top-notch ingredients are used to create tasty and contemporary seasonal cuisine, which in the evening comes as a three- or four-course set menu as well as à la carte. The smaller and simpler lunchtime menu includes one or two dishes from the evening menu. Tip for motorists: You can park in the ‘Kaufhaus Tyrol’ garage.

The history of this old inn stretches back to the 16C, and the Schatz family has run it with great dedication since 1985. The Tyrolean influence is evident both in the interior design and on the menu. Flavoursome traditional dishes prepared using excellent, mostly local produce are served in various cosy dining rooms. Among the dishes to try are the Tyrolean veal liver with a creamy caper sauce, wine soup with toasted white bread croutons, or the delectable spinach ravioli with melted butter and chives. And be sure to sample the wonderful Sachertorte. Friendly and adept service.

Compact, intimate and colourful, this pleasant bistro set in a picturesque cobbled lane in the old town offers a relaxed alternative to the Schwarzer Adler restaurant. You immediately get a sense that the team supporting chef-patron Johannes Nuding enjoy their work! At lunchtime, there is a two- or three-course set menu with a choice of dishes; from 5pm an interesting selection of simple options is served, ranging from onion soup to quiche and Thai curry to a stove-top fish dish or baked guinea fowl. Friendly service, in which the owners participate.
